Explore the listWhat We Publish
A home for books that stay with you.
We publish work for readers who like a good sentence, a real idea, and the feeling of finding something they did not know they were looking for.
From immersive fiction to thoughtful non-fiction, our list moves across genres without losing its centre: books made with care and built to be read more than once.
Non-fiction
Clear-eyed books about people, history, the natural world, culture, and the ideas shaping daily life.
Across genres
Memoir, mystery, essays, nature writing, practical guides, and the work that refuses an easy shelf.
Voices with character
We like writers who bring their own weather to the page.
Ideas with staying power
Books that leave the reader with more to think about than they arrived with.
Made for the long read
Thoughtful editing, creative design, and a belief that a good story still matters.
Our authors
“Good books make room in the mind.”

About Sandy Lake Press
Books with a long shelf life.
Sandy Lake Press is an independent Canadian publisher of fiction and non-fiction across multiple genres, including print books, e-books, audiobooks, and other forms of literature. We are drawn to distinctive voices, sturdy ideas, and stories with enough depth to meet a reader in a different place years from now.
Our work begins with attention: to the writer, the reader, and the details that shape how a book is experienced, whether it is held in the hand, heard through headphones, or read on a screen.
